Robin's Zodiac Zone November 11th-17th, 2018: Mercury Retrograde, Venus Direct

Mars to Pisces on Thursday, and on Friday Venus stations direct just hours before Mercury retrograde officially begins in the evening.

Restorative Yoga with Aromatherapy option and Reiki is Saturday, with good reason and intention, as we move into holiday weeks. Pisces is a healing, tender Moon sign and that is the aim of this session. With Addie Powers Johnson offering reiki and you choose the aromatherapy blend for you. I'll guide your yoga postures, quiet and supported for rest. www.scarboroughmaineyoga.com
This is likely to be full by early in the week. Advance signs ups only. Registration closes Friday morning if we're not sold out.

Sunday: Capricorn Moon meets Saturn, and the Sun aligns with Pluto in Capricorn. All in all this is a serious, intentional, perhaps productive or driven influence. Face a fear and move forward. Today's color is Black.

Monday: Capricorn Moon meets Pluto for a slow unfolding or revisit to yesterday's vibes. The Moon is in harmony with the Sun in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. Capricorn Moon is not the one most attuned to deep emotions, and in fact may easily detach and focus on tasks and organization, yet feelings will be impossible to ignore today. Some may include romantic love and sentimentality. Today's color is Blue.

Tuesday: Capricorn Moon void just for half an hour before moving to Aquarius at 10:45 am EST. Venus and Uranus square the Moon today and interpersonal conflict is one effect. Can you work through it fairly without drama? Aquarius Moon aligns with Jupiter newly in Sagittarius at 1:05 pm EST for broad perspective and an adventurous or inventive inspiration to follow. Today's color is Turquoise.

Wednesday: Aquarius Moon aligns with Mercury soon to be retrograde. Note the importance of communications, messages, meetings, and group dynamics. What's going on now may be revisited a few times before the end of the year. This is meant to be a productive time in the lunar cycle. Yet we are also on the brink of Mercury retrograde. Everything is an experiment. That sort of approach may be most suitable for the next month. Today's color is Silver.

Thursday: The Moon is halfway to Full (November 23rd, next Friday). By the way that Gemini Full Moon has some very challenging aspects, and Mercury will be retrograde. An intention to keep things simple and calm around the Thanksgiving holiday could put you in a better frame of mind. Restore and replenish in these days ahead and do as much as you can in advance if you're hosting dinner or an event. Today Mars  moves to Pisces at 5:21 pm EST. It's a passive sign for the warrior planet. Mars is out of element completely. Perhaps channel fire energy into creation, writing and actively processing emotions so you don't feel bottled up and eventually burst or crash. Mars is in Pisces until December 31st after a very long tour of Aquarius. Mars aligns with Uranus before leaving Aquarius. This is active and unsettling, rebellious and out of the ordinary. Could be exciting, could shift something way out of the expected range. Be very cautious around explosive people and situations. The Moon has a mix of aspects. Moon shift to Pisces at 11:41 pm EST after just 43 minutes void of course. This part of the week is highlighted by more changes tomorrow. Today's color is Light Blue.

Friday: Pisces Moon meets Mars at 12:02 am EST. Notice how you feel late night or early morning. Does a feeling spontaneously come up for acknowledgment or care? Venus direct at 5:51 am and Mercury retro begins 8:33 pm EST. Many shifts late this week stir up feelings, situations, relationships, and plans. Today's color is Green.

Saturday: Pisces Moon meets Neptune, aligns well with Pluto and is square to Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius. The square may feel like something or someone holding you from a change you want to make or something you'd like to do now or soon. Mercury retro is a good reason to pause though. Is it true that there's no rush? That the opportunity will still be there in a few weeks? Slowing ourselves down is a good plan during this retrograde. Plans may change for this particular day or weekend. It's not only best but most likely necessary to be flexible and go with the flow. Today's color is Lavender.

Robin's Zodiac Zone October 21st-26th, 2018: Taurus Full Moon

Yoga for the Lunar Cycle falls on Full Moon this month. Join us at The Sunshine Factory South Portland. You can sign up in advance on the website or come in about 10 minutes early to sign in that evening. The studio is downstairs in the Castle at Brick Hill South Portland. It's a very inviting space where acupuncture and cupping are also offered. Lunar salutations and a practice customized in every way to this Full Moon. Wednesday night 6-7:30 pm. $20

More about this Full Moon at robinivy.blogspot.com

Sunday: Pisces Moon in harmony with Mercury, Pluto, and Jupiter. Enjoy the people you love and creative inspiration. It's an outdoor vibe too with earth and water playing prominent roles. Today's color is Green.

Monday: Full Moon is midday Wednesday in Taurus. Aries Moon gets the weekdays started at 2:58 am EDT through part of Wednesday morning. Full Moon bearing over us may feel like even more today due to a Saturn square. Pressure is a common effect. Mercury and Pluto align in two signs that harbor feelings and secrets or sometime avoid fessing up. Yet, the alignment may bring secrets or info out into the open. Today's color is Black.

Tuesday: Warmup to Full Moon. Completion and closure time is here. The Moon remains in Aries today, but events of the Full Moon have the longevity that Taurus bestows. The Sun opposes Uranus in Taurus. You'll notice some radical changes and announcements during this Full Moon. Mars and Pluto are active today so there's unrest.  The Sun moves to Scorpio at 7:22 am EDT, joining 3 planets in the sign of sexuality. Taurus is opposite Scorpio and is the sign of sensuality. Sexual, reproductive, and fidelity issues will be common during this Moon. Void Moon 2:18 pm to 10:33 am EDT on  Wednesday. Undeniable is a good word for this Full Moon. Notice how it's shaping events of today. Wear Orange.

Wednesday: Until 10:33 am EDT the Moon is void of course. With Full Moon and the deadlines and decisions this often brings, the early hours are a time to not be pressured. Wait until you feel clear or at least buy a bit of time until Taurus Moon 10:33 am EDT. The Full Moon is 12:45 pm EDT, opposite Venus as well as the Sun in Scorpio, and notably meeting Uranus for wild, less than predictable outcomes. Saturn and Venus are also major planetary players today and relate to relationship based and serious life decisions and events. Financial and organizational changes are also implied as these planets line up in Scorpio and Capricorn. This Full Moon is powerful, weighty, and meaningful in terms of long term impacts. Wear Gold.

Thursday: Taurus Moon, still offering Full Moon effects and news. Closure is common when the Moon is Full. One thing gives way for another or creates some space for what's to come. Neptune and Pluto in harmony with the Moon while Mars offers a stubborn square. Letting go or leaving a group may not be easy. Today's color is Light Blue.

Friday: The Sun meets Venus retrograde. Friends and lovers reconnect or approach each other, getting back in contact. We may dig into old clothing and give it new life. Repurpose something beautiful or interesting. Taurus Moon is opposite Jupiter and Mercury for powerful compromises and long lasting decisions. Void Moon in Taurus 10:49 am to 3:41 pm  EDT. Gemini Moon starts the weekend with a social, outgoing night. Today's color is Blue.

Saturday: Gemini Moon squares Neptune. Reliability is questionable with these mutable signs. It won't be easy to secure a promise or make a fixed plan. Sun sextile Saturn is harmonious for business agreements and transactions. Today's color is Black.

Scorpio New Moon Saturday, November 18th, 2017

Hello everyone!

November's New Moon is at 6:42 am EST on Saturday the 18th is at 26 degrees of Scorpio. The sabian symbol for this degree is "Indians making camp in new territory". Themes of settling into unfamiliar settings and circumstances and becoming acclimated and resourceful in different surroundings arise with New Moon. 

Committing, rooting and grounding are implied. This may be about hunkering down for winter and making sure you have enough of what you need both physically and spiritually and emotionally. What is this new territory you'll be adapting to? Moving in with a significant other, going out on your own, reestablishing yourself where you are, in a different way? 

Native peoples lived close to the earth and respected the land and the other resources of their natural environment. Environmental concerns and new awareness and movements related to climate change and the earth will have renewed attention as the impacts become more clear. 

Scorpio is the sign of sexuality, reproductive health, mystery, intuition and finance. Everything Scorpio has certain weight, depth, and complexity. To move effectively with Scorpio New Moon, one must be consistent and willing and, when that is so, great transformation is possible. If you need to make a significant and challenging change in your life, letting go of a strongly implanted feeling, experience, or idea, this New Moon time offers an opportunity to move into that new 'camp', and to stay a while until your next move or release becomes clear, until you're strong and solid on the inside, having learned respect for self, others and the earth and having built up energy and inner fire from which you will recreate your life. 

On the other hand, if life is in pretty good shape, yet you feel restless or bored, it's time to experiment, shake things up a little, and step into places or situations that stimulate your creativity and allow you to see what else there is to be discovered. For many, the New Moon can bring a more spiritual perspective, encouraging belief and even offering proof of things that cannot be seen or quantified easily. 

Go beyond the literal. There are treasures to be found both within and externally. There are healers and there is healing beyond what you've known. See the signs, listen, tune in, and follow a hunch.

Scorpio: Release any limiting beliefs, especially about your self and your relationship, and act on 
opportunities
Sagittarius: Tune in to intuition and spiritual guidance. Slow down and spend time in natural environments and slightly outside your comfort zone.
Capricorn: Assess your friendships and all with social context. You may find yourself in a new group or community that better supports you.
Aquarius: Step up to new career challenges and opportunities. Breakthroughs in your professional life and new talents or levels of mastery are possible.
Pisces: Look to the symbolism of "Indians setting up camp in a new territory". There are philosophical, educational and other expansions as you move into unfamiliar situations or reconstruct with new ideas.
Aries:  You're presented with opportunities for healing, feeling more financially stable, and more physically or emotionally well. Find some peace around grudges or partnership issues so you can move on.
Taurus: Co-create and arrive at decisions with or relative to a significant other. Roles and relationships are set to transform to be healthier, more authentic and without conditions.
Gemini: Reconsider your routines and how you take care of yourself. Explore natural and healthy routines, supplements, and 'exercises'. Meditation, better sleep, and predictable routines are examples.
Cancer: Love well. Your new ground is established through your relationships and creative pursuits.
Leo: Find yourself at home or returning to your roots yet discovering something new. Family relationships are implied as well as the land/earth/place itself. 
Virgo: Write, draw, express deep feelings as an exercise in releasing old perceptions, wounds, and limiting beliefs. New learning and connections are in your midst once the clutter clears.
Libra: Finances and employment are implied. You may accept work or shift your saving, spending and earning habits. You may let go of possessions no longer useful or meaningful while acquiring or saving for something with greater value. 

Essential oils are supportive in so many ways. Frankincense to the crown and third eye chakras feel right for this New Moon. Clary Sage, an oil related to hormone balance and the female reproductive system, is one of the oils I associate with Scorpio. Avoid this oil if you are or could be pregnant. It comes in roller form which many of my friends enjoy and recommend. Clary is also an ingredient in the Peace blend, which I personally love and relate to the water signs. See all the oils and browse at www.mydoterra.com/robinivypayton

I'm happy to respond if you have questions or are interested in a wholesale or wellness advocate account with doTERRA. We love the oils, and they are part of our routine at my house. Currently diffusing and loving Clove oil (which also can brighten your teeth!).

Friday, December 1st join me at Willard Beach Studio 3-4:30 or attend Intro to Essential Oils with Maura Reminga and Yara Perez that evening to learn more. Link to workshops at Willard Beach Studio

All the best during New Moon and Thanksgiving week!

Full Moon in Aries October 5th, 2017

The Warrior Full Moon arrives once a year during the Libra season of harmony, illustrating the polarities of the zodiac that are always present and reflected in our lives.  This Full Moon is square to Pluto, planet of secrets, mysteries, our most deep inner thoughts and fears. Some will experience incredible transformations and realizations as a result of serious discomfort and welling emotions. This Moon cycle is an opportune time to get real, free yourself of judgments and anxieties that come from within or from years of conditioning. With courage, you may deal with unhealthy relationships and habits and recover parts of your wholeness and true self that have been lost.

This Full Moon is at Aries 12 degrees, represented symbolically in two ways to reflect on. One is An Old Woman Hears the Stars Talk to Her at Night. In this depiction, I see a wise and experienced, individual listening to universal messages and heading the intuitions received. There's a dark and lonely quality that's been present, though she acknowledges she isn't really alone. Her guides and the signs provided are always there.

Secondly, A Triangular Shaped Flight of Wild Geese shows us the cosmic order that comes with this Full Moon. And there's a gathering or formation of like minded souls in a natural flow, uniting and migrating together. The natural laws that transcend any earthly law show themselves in the actions of the animals and the environment.

At New Moon time, in Libra on October 19th we see another symbol of birds blending their polar opposite energies.  More on that in an upcoming post.

Themes of the Full Moon include Courage, taking a Peaceful, but Strong Stand, Releasing Fears and Letting Go of old business or habits, Venturing Out on your own to find the energy or group you resonate with, and Listening to the Signs and Messages that come through the Darkness.

Full Moon warmup begins October 2nd and the effects linger into the 9th.

Much luck and love to you! May all beings be happy, safe, healthy and free.

Robin

August 3rd to 9th, 2017

Thursday: Moon void of course from 5:38 to 8:37 pm EDT. We are warming up for a lunar eclipse, which is a Full Moon, in Aquarius on Monday at 2:11pm EDT. We are likely to feel and observe change in the air. The Moon meets Saturn in the 3 am hour (eastern time zone). Go over agreements, plans and considering important decisions that require maturity and courage.  Saturn is retrograde until August 25th, in Sagittarius. The Moon and Uranus form a trine, feeding each others' fire, at 5:38 pm EDT as the Moon moves void of course. This is an exciting or precarious trine. Move thoughtfully through these hours. Capricorn Moon shift happens at 8:37 pm EDT  and about 9 hours later the Moon will be exactly opposite Venus in Cancer, activating relationship and family matters. You may notice opposition or adversarial energies. You may also have a chance to meet someone in the middle and find compromise. Also note that Uranus moves retrograde at 1:31 am EDT.  Less attention is given to outer planets retrogrades though a sudden back up or halt could be signaled. Today's color is Green.

Friday: Capricorn Moon. Jupiter squares Pluto in Libra/Capricorn. Attune to how you or others use will,  resources, and knowledge. How are control and power at play? Aim for what's grounded and fair. We are very close to the eclipse and sudden changes include closure, people departing, major decisions or events that precipitate such decisions. Strong judgement is called for. Seek right action and fair outcomes.  Today's color is Black.

Saturday: Capricorn Moon meets Pluto and squares Jupiter. Yesterday's forecast is entirely relevant today. The eclipse is a Full Moon, waxing now through Monday at 2:11 pm EDT. This is powerful and eventful period.  Some of today's themes include facing fear, doing what's just. finishing products and projects and remaining grounded. Today's color is Gray.

Sunday: It's the eve of the Lunar Eclipse, and the Capricorn Moon gives way to Aquarius Moon at 8:15 am EDT. Void Moon is 5:22 to 8:15 am EDT. Dreams activate. You may want to sleep late or feel like sleep is intermittent. Aquarius Moon is generally suited to group meetings and events, and connecting with like minded souls. Aquarius Moon will go on to oppose Mars early on Monday. That opposition may be disagreeable. It may also activate us around common vision, if we're fortunate and experience the positives during this eclipse. It's the first of 2 this month. All Full Moons lead to coming full circle, completions, closures and peaks, and sometimes to dreams realized in their fullest expression. Honor due dates.  Mercury is about to be retrograde, starting the 12th. Today's color is Turquoise Blue.

Monday: Lunar eclipse in Aquarius 2:11 pm EDT across from the Sun, as always, and across from Mars in Leo. Jupiter is supportive from Libra, which can assist with the right people at the right time, legal matters ready to resolve, and in some cases educational or travel decisions that must be made now or very soon. Mars opposition often does not make life easy. Mars is in Leo, sign of children, sometimes paternal in nature, and always youthful and resilient. Notice any of that in process.  Today's color is White.

Tuesday: Aquarius Moon aligns with Saturn retro in Sagittarius. This also applies to Monday since it's a late night/wee hours sextile. All that is global and wide in scope relates. Attention will be called to life decisions, the people involved and the travel, knowledge and wisdom required. Saturn is retro and retroactive is a word that could apply. At 3:07 pm the Moon aligns with Uranus in Aries, leading to sudden, spontaneous, combustible, or impulsive action and events. Watch your step, drive safely, avoid confrontations for now. Moon to Pisces at 5:56 pm EDT. Romance, imagination and dreams are featured for the evening. Being by the ocean or lake is a Pisces Moon plus.  Today's color is Light Blue.

Wednesday: Pisces Moon through Thursday. The Moon harmonizes with Venus in Cancer for romance and creativity. Seek harmony through communication even if it seems like the opposing sides are strong.  Mercury is across from the Moon and set to retrograde for about 3 weeks starting on the 12th. Perhaps you can reach a temporary compromise or plan today. Take a soft, easygoing, non confrontational approach to be in harmony with Venus, Mercury and the Moon in water and earth signs. Less is more is a phrase that comes to mind. Moon and Neptune fuel romance and imagination as they meet in Pisces. However they also make it easy to slip back into patterns of escapism, substance abuse, and denial. Can you stay real and true, clear headed and willing? Today's color is Pink.

Thursdays in August! I would love you to join us and feed your soul with outdoor yoga on a farm or in our small city!

Thursday: Mars in Taurus begins at 7:34 pm ET until April 21st. This is a goal oriented period focused on the long term and results. This is a sensual sign for Mars. The Sun is aligned with Pluto in Pisces/Capricorn. Be creative with organizing and other changes or announcements. Add style to your work. Leo Moon aligns with Venus retrograde in Aries. Get back with an old friend or revisit a romantic relationships without big expectations.  Today's color is Orange.

Friday: Leo Moon void of course 12:06 to 5:07 pm ET. Morning is active and productive. Jupiter and Uranus align with the Moon for growth, spontaneity and good feelings. Intentional agreements are well accomplished as Saturn and the Moon harmonize at 12:06 pm ET. Void hours are better for easygoing or routine work and play. Virgo Moon aligns with Mars in Taurus for a cozy night or evening out with familiar faces and surroundings.  Think comfort zone. Today's color is Navy Blue.

Saturday: Virgo Moon opposes Neptune in Pisces. Themes of the recent Pisces solar eclipse may be evident. Changes move to the next level. Honesty and compassion are thematic, one extreme or the other. Question or use caution on what your intuition says is not quite right. The Moon is Full (Sunday morning) so anything could reach a saturation or peak level now. Meet a due date. Green is today's color.

Sunday: Daylight Savings begins at 2 am in the USA. We set the clocks ahead. Full Moon in Virgo is 10:54 am. There are many aspects during this Full Moon. Saturn and Mercury push for compromises and agreements to be finalized. Mercury in Pisces squares Saturn in Sagittarius and the Moon interacts with each. Progress requires effort during this Full Moon. Void time begins 10:36 pm ET. White is today's color.

Monday: Libra Moon 1:28 am ET. Mercury moves to Aries at 5:07 pm. Mercury in Aries is time for making plans and going forth with previous plans or announcements of what's new, now until March 31st. Mercury retrograde for a few weeks begins April 9th. There's no time like right now if you're dealing with details and decisions. File taxes before April 9th, as much as a week before is even better.  Moon opposite Venus retro inspires a review of relationship status and how well relationships are working.  Today's color is Pink.

Tuesday: Libra Moon meets Jupiter, squares Pluto and opposes Uranus. A complex variety of aspects. Work hard, play fair, hope for the best.  Try not to get caught up in anxiety or drama. Today's color is Blue.

Wednesday: Void of course Moon 6:05 to 11:11 am EDT. Void Moon in air sign Libra can be quite ungrounded. Make sure you're not spacing out and/or forgetting something important. Scorpio Moon opposes Mars. Stubbornness may result in stuck points, opinionated statements and willful actions. This can be quite confrontational. Indigo Blue is today's color.

People may act in sudden, rash ways. Void Moon 4:38 to 5:49 pm ET, followed by Cancer Moon through much of Thursday. Moon opposes Mercury before changing signs.

Monday: Aquarius Moon (from 2:33 am EDT) trine Mercury and Jupiter in Libra. Objectivity, fairness, collaboration. Meet people, work together. Decent day for a first date or meeting. Turquoise is our color.

Tuesday: Aquarius Moon, Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Libra, Mars in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces.  All of yesterday's forecast applies. Today is even more lucky and beneficial for agreements, creativity and connecting with others in meaningful ways and to get things accomplished.  Legal agreements. Good day for writing and thinking originally. Void Moon begins 7:49 pm EDT. Blue is today's color.

Wednesday: Pisces Moon begins 8:43 am EDT. Abundance. Compassion. Work on prosperity and beliefs surrounding earning potential. Growth and expansion in both the heart and the wallet. Green is today's color.

This Friday, Mercury joins Jupiter and the Sun in fair minded Libra. Resolve personal and legal disputes, form partnerships, and expect justice and generous settlements now through next week.

Aries: Your ruling planet, Mars, activates career options now. Keep your chin up and concentrate on a project you’re passionate for. Try not to let the monsters get you down or trigger any public display of negativity.  Planets in Libra favor all of your partnerships and mutual decisions. Get together with someone whose traits or strengths complement yours.

Taurus: Improving your routines and habits makes a huge difference. As a physical sign, you know that when your body feels good you function at a higher level. Even in your marriage or with your closest colleague, you’re a much better partner when you’re rested and balanced in what you consume. Be good to yourself like that, and notice how everything else responds.

Gemini: The Sun, Mercury and Jupiter reward your patience with developments and encounters you’ve been gearing for. Open up options for dating or business networking. Planetary positivity extends to child rearing and baby making if you’re ready. This season is about giving birth to new experiences and relationships of many kinds. Partner up and make things happen.

Cancer: Be sincere and convincing as you coax a close partner to see things your way. In family and other household relationships, the trend is toward growth and positive solutions. Rather than blame or passive discontent, open the conversation for a new agreement about money, chores, and mutual respect.  An honest talk should go very well during the next seven days.

Leo: Mercury fires up your mind for speaking, writing, and publishing. Jupiter favors the benefits that come from such things, like money and growing audiences. Release your music or book late this year or in 2017. Whether you’re getting inspired or nearing completion, focus energy on media and self expression. Express from the heart. Learn quickly, and then pass it on.

Virgo: A job interview or related meeting is well timed for the 10th to 12th. Resume your search for higher paying or more suitable work. Be flexible as you consider a position out of your comfort zone. Jupiter gives you the power to take on bigger, more important and more intellectual projects this year. As Mercury moves to Libra, recognize the value of what you do.

Libra: The smart planets, Mercury and Jupiter, travel through your sign. Tap your knowledge base, use your wits, and be resourceful halfway between New and Full Moon. The Sun energizes you toward goals and for relationships.  Progressive change comes if you can move past outdated or negative thinking. See the missing piece that’s right in plain sight.

Scorpio: Rediscover enthusiasm for an unfinished project.  Venus stimulates your creative fire through mid month. Balance your internal process with interactions that bring ideas and plans to life. For example, seek out a valued opinion before pitching or delivering the final product. A road trip or time away from the usual yields insights you may not expect.

Sagittarius: Take a step toward one of your dreams.  Mercury, Jupiter and the Sun gather to influence your friendships, romances and hopes. Infatuation is a symptom of this season, for you. Meanwhile, use wisdom and discretion where money is concerned. Seek financing or legal agreements, knowing there are still surprises in store. For now, curb any urge to overspend.

Capricorn: This is peak season to be noticed for the right reasons.  Shine brightly in your field of expertise, or enthusiastically pursue a new goal. Mars, the planet of physical energy, pushes you a little bit harder or further, through November 9th. Initiate and keep things moving without overextending yourself. Enjoy a romantic or sentimental weekend as Venus and the Moon align.

Aquarius: Your mission is to become even more life smart. In the broad picture, there are life lessons to pursue should you choose to accept. Presently, deal with details with Mercury’s blessing until October 24th. Include applications, legal docs, and travel credentials on your to do list. This weekend, quiet time balances your body and mind.

Pisces: Answers and intuitions seem to come out of the clear blue. Hear beyond someone’s words and notice how you feel, trusting or unsure. Believe your body’s reactions as instinctual and informative. If you’re in the midst of a health concern, information you need comes forward. Resilience and regeneration are your two key words.

Monday: 2nd Quarter Moon in Taurus to Gemini Moon

Midway between New and Full, the Moon moves to Gemini at 9:35 am ET (void of course 5:54 to 9:35 am ET).  The Moon aligns with Venus as she touches the final degrees of Capricorn. A sensible, shared decision gives happiness or satisfaction today. Consider what creates security and strength in relationship as you move forward.  Gemini Moon trine to Mercury, just hours later, leads to brainstorming ideas, a way with words, and productive writing or study time.  It's also a good day for fun and socializing. Today's color is yellow.

Tuesday: Gemini Moon, Venus to Aquarius

Venus skips into Aquarius, following Mercury's sign change on Saturday and last week's New Moon in the water bearer's sign. Aquarius is an air sign (that water bearer is somewhat misleading), an intellectual, and the sign of invention and friendship. The Moon is in Gemini, also in the air element. Neptune, planet of fantasy, and Saturn, planet of realism, have opposing effects on the Moon. Confusion or inability to decide or act effectively could be the result. It feels like the sort of day where you can't please everyone, or more than one party.  Saturn provokes a sense of obligation while Neptune urges escape.  Uranus chimes in from Aries and some will act impulsively and spur of the moment. Jupiter squares the Moon reminding us of the healthiest courses of action. But there's tension. Today is full of mixed influences. Think before you speak and act. What feels good in the moment may not seem like the best idea tomorrow. Venus moves to Aquarius for objective perspective on relationship, socializing in groups, and joining others with a shared cause.  Today's color is blue.

Wednesday: Gemini to Cancer Moon

Gemini Moon is void of course from 11:37 am to 2:24 pm. Avoid a tempting impulse buy and wait until a bit later if you're signing off or making promises. Sun and Moon align optimistically. Cancer Moon arrives at 2:24 pm. Be loving and caring. Recognize who and what is dearest to you. Today's color is white.

Thursday: Cancer Moon

Moon aligns with Neptune in Pisces, is across from Pluto in Capricorn and square to Uranus in Aries. This complex variety of aspects influences us individually. Some themes include escapism vs. facing reality and impulse to create. It's a good day to channel energy into art. Have a quiet, heartfelt conversation. Avoid anything harsh.  Recognize your own sensitivities and how you respond. Business should be conservative and sure.  Today's color is black.

Friday: Sun to Pisces, Cancer to Leo Moon

Pisces birthdays begin at 12:34 am ET, as the Sun changes signs. This is the final phase of winter. Cancer Moon sextile Jupiter in Virgo is harmonious around home and family matters and health. Plant seeds of things you hope to grow and encourage. Take care of your land, plants, children, pets and bank account. Mars aligns with the Moon accenting all water sign traits. That includes nurture but also emotional defensiveness or manipulation. Keep it on the positive side as much as possible. Consider whether a grudge is still worth holding onto. We may be very aware of our own triggers today. Try to bring out the best in each other and self.  Void of course Moon starts at 9:36 am until Leo Moon at 9:17 pm ET.  Full Moon warmup begins, for Monday's Virgo Moon. Tonight is a party and games night. Wear purple.

Saturday: Leo Moon

Leo Moon is opposite both Venus and Mercury in Aquarius. The day is ruled by relationships and how we interact with each other. In both one on one relationships and in groups, willingness to compromise or see the other point of view helps foster harmony.  Leo and Aquarius, long term relationship is the focus of the weekend.  Figure out how to move plans forward.  Significant conversations and decisions will be made.  It's also meant to be a fun, social day.  Some will take sides and create divisiveness. Perhaps that can be avoided by knowing in advance.  Today's color is pink.

Sunday: Leo Moon

Leo Moon is in harmony with Uranus and Saturn and square to Mars. These three planets all instigate in their own ways. So close to Full Moon, Monday at 1:20 pm, this creates sensitivity or boldness. Criticism is unlikely to be taken well. Games will be competitive and serious. Actions have long term effects, and it's not a good time to cross someone, be untrue or raise sensitive issues. Strong focus is an asset today. Show loyalty. Today's color is gold.
